Bug#351822: grub: Building grub 0.97-4 in stable (backport)

[David Golombek]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-4
Severity: normal

While trying to backport grub 0.97-4 to a stable system, I found a
small bug in the rules file that prohibited it from building.  There's
existing code in that file:

> # Add backward compatibility to allow backport to stable
> ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM), linux)
> DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu
> endif

to handle the old DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM definition, but the old
DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM definition is not handled, which results in
${filesystems} not being defined, which breaks the install-arch rule
later on.  With the attached diff, the package will build on stable:
